Together with writer Arnold van Bruggen, I am working in southeastern Spain on a new project within The Europeans, covering various topics related to Europe’s largest vegetable garden. We intend to create a book about it and hope to launch it in the fall.

During our first work trip to southeastern Spain, in collaboration with the artist-in-residence AADK in Blanca, we focused on three words: WATER, WORK, and PLASTIC. These three topics are closely connected to the vast greenhouse region around the town of Almería and the importance of this area for supplying vegetables and fruit to almost all major European supermarket chains.

How do the numerous associations and clubhouses cope with the absence of community? This new work is featured in newspaper De Volkskrant with a text by Olaf Tempelman.
